George Kramer
According to the Darrtown Family Tree, both husband and wife, George Kramer and Barbara Ann Kramer are "Darrtown Pioneers."
They moved to their farm north of Darrtown, as a married couple and created a family of ten children
(see names in the image at right).
Mrs. Alice (Kramer) Miller, daughter of Fred and Margaret Kramer contributed the two undated, black and white photographs (below) of the Kramer farm.
In 2008, Harold and Cathy (Kramer) Richardson farm the land, which lies immediately north of Bogan Elementary School, 5200 Hamilton-Richmond Road.
